Doraemon has captured the hearts of the Filipinos since it was first shown on TV in 1999. The 90's kids rushed home from school each day to be able to watch their favorite anime show on TV. That's when the "Ang Mahiwagang Mensahe" became a household phrase. Since then, Doraemon has become a part of every Filipino kid's childhood.
